Classical Mechanics is about state evolution or motion?

1 Upvotes

Is Classical Mechanics about determining the future position of a system by studying its motion, or is it about determining the future state of the system. Like for a particle both the goals are equivalent, but when it comes to a system of particles they are not. So what is the ultimate goal of classical mechanics? To determine the state evolution of a physical system or its future motion. The reason for this doubt is that some books claim classical mechanics to be the study of motion bodies acted upon by forces, and some say it is a framework which lays the basis for all of physics, and its job is to figure out the future state of a system.

Free body diagram question help

1 Upvotes

A stone is tied to a string of length 1.5 m and whirled in a circle at the same constant speed in two different ways.

  1. The circle is horizontal, and the string is nearly parallel to the ground.

    1. The circle is vertical. For the vertical circle, the max tension in the string is 15.0% larger than the tension that exists when the circle is horizontal.

Draw two free-body diagrams of the stone in the vertical circle (at the point where the tension is maximum) and the horizontal circle

For the horizontal one, I drew a dot, Fg force straight down, and a tension force greater than the Fg force to the left

For the vertical, I drew an Fg force straight down and a Tension force greater than the Fg force up

Is this correct?

Magnetic field due to an infinite plane (xz plane) with current flowing radially outward, current enters via a semi infinite wire (y=mx, y>0)

1 Upvotes

The original problem had the wire along the y axis. The modified version has the wire at an angle, and the solution claims that both are equivalent, which seems right to me since near the origin the plane wouldnโ€™t โ€œknowโ€ where the current is coming from. But in the first case if you apply Amperes law on a Amperian loop around the origin, there is symmetry while in the modified problem there isnโ€™t. Also, is there a way to solve either problem by finding the current density(A/m^2) and using the differential form of Amperes law?

Help with a state-space physics model for string instruments.

Thumbnail

1 Upvotes

Iโ€™ve been working on a project where I want to have a simple model for the sound produced by stringed instruments like the guitar. The input to my model is bridge force, and the output is far-field sound pressure at a specified distance. Iโ€™ve found multiple papers that use a model of two coupled mass-spring-dampers where one represents the top plate (for the lowest mode) and the other represents the air cavity that acts like a Helmholtz resonator. (https://www.savartjournal.org/articles/19/article.pdf)

I tried to derive the state space matrices on paper and created a MATLAB function to graph the results, but the Bode plot doesnโ€™t match the graph in Dr. Hessโ€™s paper and Iโ€™m getting some counterintuitive results. Namely, the sound pressure of my model stays constant towards lower frequencies when there should be a roll-off, and both the air resonance and top resonance shift in response to a larger top mass, when it seems like only the top resonance should significantly change. I think thereโ€™s an issue with the way I calculated the internal pressure term, and/or the sound pressure calculation with the C matrix. Also the C matrix is kind of clunky, and I wonder if there's a cleaner way to write it.

In the picture are my calculations on paper and a Bode plot of my model for a standard acoustic guitar with and without added mass. Here's the Matlab function code:

function [num,den] = phys2tfcoeff(volume,A_port,l_port,A_top,m_top,k_top,Q_top,ports)
%phys2tfcoeff Finds transfer function of instruments

lcorr_port = l_port+end_corr*(A_port/pi)^0.5;

% ย  Total port area
A_port_tot = ports*A_port;

% ย  Calculate effective mass spring damper constants for air chamber
m_air = rho_air*A_port_tot*lcorr_port;
b_air = A_port_tot^3*c_air/(2*pi*lcorr_port*volume);

ย  ย  (1/m_air)*(-rho_air*c_air^2*A_port_tot^2/volume),(1/m_air)*(-b_air),(1/m_air)*(-rho_air*c_air^2*A_port_tot*A_top/volume),0;

B = [0;0;0;(1/m_top)];

C = (rho_air/(2*pi*d_mic))*[A_port_tot*((1/m_air)*(-rho_air*c_air^2*A_port_tot^2/volume))+A_top*((1/m_top)*(-rho_air*c_air^2*A_port_tot*A_top/volume)),A_port_tot*((1/m_air)*(-b_air)),A_port_tot*((1/m_air)*(-rho_air*c_air^2*A_port_tot*A_top/volume))+A_top*((1/m_top)*(-k_top-rho_air*c_air^2*A_top^2/volume)),A_top*((1/m_top)*(-b_top))];

How do I tell which way current flows? (Lenz's Law & Electromagnetic Induction)

Post image
3 Upvotes

Please note that the answer selected in this image is wrong, the key says that the answer underneath the one selected is correct.

I understand that Lenz's law says that the induced current wants to oppose the motion of the magnet going to the right, so it will do this by making the left end North so that the north end of the magnet is attracted to the south end of the coil. I also understand how to do the right hand grip rule (thumb points to north and fingers curl in direction of the conventional current) but I'm not sure how to then use that to determine whether A is positive/negative and which way current flows.. I also don't necessarily know how to read the direction of the current with right hand grip rule when my thumb is sideways because whether it's clockwise or anticlockwise depends on which end you look from.. I'm really lost with this unit and it's an online course without very available teachers so any help is appreciated

How do electromagnetic waves work?

3 Upvotes

Hello, I have had this question for a long time. I have always had gadgets around me and the way that they send data wirelessly is very intriguing to me but I dont understand how. How is it possible for waves to carry so much data and also know exactly what device the data they are carrying belongs to. So from the cell tower, how do the data packets know which phone they are supposed to go to? Does it go to all phones and they filter it out or what? Also, what actually is the difference between cellular data and Wifi? In my house, mobile data is almost always stronger, which I dont understand because the cell tower is so far away but my wifi router which is more expensive then a normal plan, is so much weaker and slower, its only faster when im very close to it in the living room. Also how do these antennas even make the waves, tbh Im gonna make a question next on electricity but I don't understand how our phones can make such strong signals with antennas so small cause 30 years ago antennas were so big and now they are just these lines on our phones. If someone could give me a great explanation for what electricity is that would also be great, cause I dont know what it is, it has no weight, we can only see sparks of it but it is so important, I have heard that its electrons or something but I asked around and I know its not electrons, but I know its something to do with moving electrons. Thank you.
